Chapter 1051: Carrying Gold Through the Bustling Market

"It is said that the shop owner’s family of four planned to anesthetize them at midnight, then kill them to rob them of their horses and valuables. Unexpectedly, You Er and the others noticed in advance and tied up the shop owner’s family.""They only notified the county government the next day."

Yun Jiao felt incredibly complex for a moment, thinking about how her son and the others almost faced danger. She was filled with a wave of fear.

However, thinking about how they, at such a young age, managed to uncover such villains independently on their first outing and even cracked a major case, she couldn’t help feeling proud.

Jiang Youzhi felt similarly.

Now, he felt that his father insisting on not sending anyone to accompany them was too risky after all.

This case alarmed the royal court. The Emperor requested the files and reviewed them; he reviewed them as well.

Upon seeing the confession within, it was because the two horses caught the eye that sparked their intent to kill. Jiang Youzhi was filled with regret.

Lin Shuo sent the two horses over with the initial intent of compensating Qi Er.

He and Lord Guo Gong were somewhat worried. Two children riding such valuable horses could arouse jealousy, considering that throughout Great Chu, only the Emperor owned an Akhal-Teke horse, something many dreamed of yet couldn’t obtain.

But thinking about Lin Shuo’s heartfelt gesture as a father, and seeing how much the children loved the two horses, they gave them to them.

Who would have thought the two children would leave home this time and rode away with the horses too.

With these two horses, one can imagine how many covetous eyes they’d attract along the way.

If Jiang Youzhi hadn’t previously overlooked this issue, thinking nothing would happen along their journey, now the more he thought, the more uneasy he felt.

This was like two little children carrying gold through a crowded marketplace!

Yun Jiao also thought about it, suddenly raising her head from his embrace, "What to do? Those two horses are too conspicuous! Who knows if there are desperate people out there wanting to rob them!"

"They might not always be so lucky; what if the opponents are many? What will they do then?"

Jiang Youzhi pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Since You Er and Qi Er almost suffered because of the horses, given their intelligence, they should find a way to cope without flaunting it in the streets."

"Moreover, their martial skills are quite decent now, considered second-rate experts in the martial world. Rest assured, ordinary people aren’t their match."

Yun Jiao frowned, "You only know how to reassure me, it’s not right, still need to send experts to follow them quickly!"

Jiang Youzhi thought about it, and reluctantly said, "Then I’ll send a few people to go after them."

"However, it would still take a few days to catch up with them."

Yun Jiao replied, "If I had known this earlier, it would be better to tell Qi Er the truth."

"He’s now full of hope headed to the Southern Border; when he arrives there and realizes his father isn’t there, how disappointed will he be?" Yun Jiao almost cried thinking about it.

Jiang Youzhi didn’t know what to do for a moment, "What then? Brother Lin’s affair is confidential, and can’t be disclosed to the child."

Yun Jiao silently stared out the window, not wanting to speak with Jiang Youzhi at all, she was angry not only at Jiang Youzhi but also at herself.

If she had known this would be the outcome, she should have chosen to tell Qi Er the truth; she believed he had grown up, understood the importance and would keep secrets that need to be kept.

You Er and Qi Er at this moment were galloping down the official road.

The black horse under You Er had not been bathed or brushed for several days, its coat no longer had the sheen of black satin.

The pale golden horse under Qi Er had its coat similarly dulled significantly.

That day after leaving Jiuan County Government, the two discussed whether to buy some dye to change the coat color of the pale golden horse, but thought better of it.

If they dyed it and couldn’t wash it off, it would ruin the Akhal-Teke horse completely.
